Multiple Style/Theme Profiles

You can manage multiple style/theme profiles within Explo. By default, explo displays the ‘default’ theme/style in your embedded components. However, you can pass in the name of a theme/style via the theme prop in the iframe or web component to display a different theme/style.

#iframe
<iframe
  src="https://app.explo.co/iframe/<DASHBOARD_ID>/<CUSTOMER_TOKEN>/<ENVIRONMENT>?theme="theme_name"
  style="width: 100%;border: none;height: 100vh;">
</iframe>

#web component
<explo-dashboard
  dash-customer-token="DASHBOARD_ID:CUSTOMER_TOKEN"
  environment="production"
  theme="theme_name"
/>

Copy the exact styles from your own application in order to match the design. If you want to select new colors, you can reference tools such as Adobe Color Wheel for help!

You can reference the following table to understand how each setting affects your dashboard:

- Header 1: + 8px

- Small Heading: - 2px

- Header 3: Secondary headings (e.g. heading in date picker modal)
- Body: Most text on the dashboard, such as data table values, dropdown input options, and share button text.
